Did anybody ever chartered one of those mega yachts? I am curious to know if all of the crews are as dysfunctional as the one in the "Below Deck" TV show.
 
I can only guess the crew won’t let you see any below deck drama
 
I even stopped watching deadliest catch years ago. Sad to see grown tough guys gossiping and explaining their feelings like a bunch of housewives... or millennial yachties.

I ve landed on below deck while Chanel surfing and can rarely stand it for more than a short while. Beyond the “drama” some of the charter scenarios are BS. In a recent episode, the crew drops the guests ashore and forget to give them towels and water... or they land the tender on a rough beach. Neither would ever happen in a real charter.

Thankfully on an 84 footer I don’t have to deal with large crew and all the drama... as to guests there may be some pain in the ass but at our level we get reasonable people. Sure some have specific preferences but that s what they pay big bucks for

Yeah, that's why I like the boats I run - my difficult pax are only onboard for the inbound run, and they tend to appreciate the ride - and if not, they're still strapped in where I can't hear them from my open bridge...
